[edit] Frankenstein monster

Article duplicates information already presented in Frankenstein and alternative spellings such as Frankenstein's Monster already redirect to Frankenstein. Suggest merge anything new and redirect to Frankenstein. 23skidoo 21:49, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Comment. Just to be clear, I know that the name of the Monster is not "Frankenstein", however the main article provides the same essential plot synopsis and overview of the character that is being presented in Frankenstein monster, and goes on to include a fairly detailed discussion of the character's appearances in other media. 23skidoo 21:53, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge/redirect to Frankenstein. Gazpacho 22:58, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect. (You could have been bold and just done it yourself. Redirects are reversible and do not need to be discussed on VfD. If the redirect turns out to be controversial, concensus should be sought on the respective Talk pages, not here.) Rossami (talk) 05:30, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
From past experience I've learned deletion of this sort needs to be discussed here as I got in trouble for "being bold" in this way once before. Better safe than sorry. 23skidoo 14:14, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
If you do not wish to be bold, bring it up on the article's discussion page first. If you desire some outcome other than deletion, VFD is not the place to bring the complaint. Shimmin 17:06, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
